Maya - The Boolean Tool

Using Maya more and more, I have become more accustomed to its many tools. Of course, all tools have their uses but some can have unintended consequences on your models. The Boolean tool is particularly controversial, as it is extremely effective but has adverse effects on models. I have two lecturers overseeing my 3D animation course - one believes that the Boolean tool is very useful, whilst the other detests its use. Here is a video I have made discussing the functions and flaws of the Boolean tool.

It is important to evaluate the tools that you use, otherwise you may overlook or ignore flaws that they have. This will lead to you completing tasks inefficiently and therefore hinder your productivity.
